McMillan Welcomes Decision on Albert Road, Gourock

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has today (Thursday) welcomed the news from Inverclyde Council that they are in the process of removing the existing waiting restriction in front of the swimming baths and resite the bus stop to the east of the tenements. The news comes on the back of a consultation that Mr McMillan took with residents asking whether they wanted the markings removed. The majority of those who responded were in favour of the removal of the line marking.

Mr McMillan said;

"I welcome the news from Inverclyde Council that they are to remove the existing waiting restrictions in front of the swimming baths and resite the bus stop to the east of the tenements.

"I undertook a consultation with the residents of Albert Road on this matter and the response I received was overwhelmingly in favour of the removal of the line markings. I shall be contacting all those constituents who responded to the consultation and making them aware of the Council’s response.

"I would also like to put on record the work carried out by Councillor Ahlfeld on this issue.
"The decision by Inverclyde Council to remove the markings is a victory for common sense and the residents of Albert Road."
